Born and raised in Chicago and it's surrounding suburbs, Billy Jackson has always had an eye for creating artworks whether it be a short film to a still life painting. Billy's early life was motivated by the absence of a father and a strong presence of a mother which he still appreciates as a blessing from God. He was enrolled in Oak Park Schools, which eventually led him, like most oak park children, to go to college to pursue an education degree. In 2008 Billy graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a degree in Art Education and teaches Art & Media at an alternative charter high school on the city's South side.When Billy was 6 years old, he was entertained by Entertainment Tonight about his opinions of a new frozen dessert they were making. His explanation was so priceless that he was then catapulted into appearing in numerous commercials, short films, movies, and even music videos throughout his career.In 2010 Billy Co-Starred many 2nd City Chicagoan actors in the hit Television Reality Series, "America's Worst Driver" where he and other contestants battled to not be eliminated or not getting their cars crushed by a bulldozer. The Show was unfortunately cancelled after 1 season catching startling bad reviews from many notable publications.In 2012 Billy was commissioned by Jerry Reinsdorf & Congressman Bobby Rush to organize a team, create, and assemble a mural which was completed September 25, 2012, but vandalized several months later. Billy linked the Controversy to Business as usual tactics, but no effort has been underway to scrutinize a possible suspect, or "suspects".In 2015 Billy was tapped by NBC to appear on the Steve Harvey show representing the progressive civil rights group, "Black Lives Matter", in which he went on the show to protest the treatment of young black men in urban and poverty stricken societies. Tensions remained high throughout the show between Harvey and Billy that at the end of the show Steve had a war of words with Billy.In 2017 P.A.A.W., Inc. Productions (Billy Jackson's Production Company) released "Mistery" starring him and his wife as a New Series of Parodies aimed at hollywood classic horror, comedy, and noir films. Show less «
